The Justice for Yemen Coalition, in coordination with the Al Amal Cultural and Social Foundation, publishes a report under the title (A Human Rights Defender in Hadhramaut)
Report: A female human rights defender in Hadramaut faces threats and discrimination
The report paints a picture of the difficult conditions faced by women human rights defenders in Yemen, and underscores the urgent need for attention and intervention. Women human rights defenders are exposed to increasing risks, prompting many to stop their activities, close their organizations, or seek refuge by leaving the country in search of safety.
The case of Amina (pseudonym) highlights the difficulties faced by women human rights defenders. Amina highlights societal criticism, including accusations that women human rights defenders receive foreign funding to destabilize security and break up families. In addition, the report highlights the authorities’ lack of seriousness in addressing cases reported by women human rights defenders, illustrating the discrimination they face when seeking justice. Furthermore, the report highlights the Houthis for their particularly brutal treatment of human rights defenders, exemplified by the case of activist Fatima Al-Arwali, who was sentenced to death after enforced disappearance and a show trial.
